Using the correct real estate forms when you sell a house for sale by owner, is very important. You should also always have some forms on hand at all times. A Realtor, would never be caught showing a house to a prospective buyer, without the proper contract forms on hand. Right?
What I mean by proper, is, you should not use generic contract forms for your transactions. Why? Well, lets look at the United States.
Each state has their own real estate contract laws and disclosure laws. For example, do you need a lead paint disclosure as well?
If you depend on generic real estate forms, you could regret it later when a buyer wants to wiggle out of the contract.
The buyer's lawyer could find huge loopholes in the for sale by owner contract, because you depended on a "one form fits all". Please be safe and obtain the proper forms.
The Good News!
